COVID-19 Action
Alongside current projects initiated by the Malagasy government and in compliance with national directives, GRET and Nutri'zaza mobilized their distribution and outreach teams to support underprivileged families living 100 working-class neighborhoods in the communes of Antananarivo, Tamatave, Antsirabe, and Fianarantsoa. Their primary goal was to help limit the spread of the Coronavirus and mitigate the nutritional impact of the crisis.
GRET and Nutri'zaza's collaborative efforts enabled:
Encouragement of household practices to limit the propogation of COVID-19, through educational campaigns and soap distribution
Increased access to nutritional supplements at steeply discounted prices. An estimated 220,000 supplement rations were distributed during the period.
